A study is underway to determine the best way to manage water release from Lake Conroe and Lake Houston. The San Jacinto River Authority is leading this effort, which aims to find a coordinated approach. This comes as plans are made to add new gates to the Lake Houston Dam.
The goal is to ensure that water release from both lakes is synchronized. Currently, Lake Conroe has a certain number of gates, while Lake Houston has fewer. Further details about the study and its objectives are available.
The study's outcome will inform how the lakes' dam gates are operated in the future, taking into account the upcoming addition of new gates.
